Avifauna is very sensitive to the changes in surrounding. The era of development leads to construction and maintenance of paved roads and the vehicles which travel on them increase bird mortality on road. During present study it was estimated that there are certain groups of birds which are more risk prone. Out of 236 bird species observed Owls, Shrikes, Babblers, Coucal, Myna parrots and doves are more prone to road mortality due to vehicular collision. Future road construction and safety regulations must be for wildlife consideration. If man made habitats are responsible for killing of the healthier part of natural populations of avifauna, this may lead to common birds up to verge of threat. Other secondary factors like vehicular noise and pollution also accountable for behavioral changes.
